About barcode120x

barcode120x has 11 years experience as a RN, NP and specializes in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.


Work. Gym. Eat. Sleep. Video game. Repeat.

Finally left bedside nursing of about 7.5 years on the telemetry floor to pursue my NP career as of August 2022 and haven't looked back since. Currently working as an NP as a PM&R provider and I do per diem work as a VA medical examiner. Feel free to DM me for any questions!

"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."

    First NP job did not work out..now what?

    The fact that they told you may never be an NP again speaks volumes of that employer. Honestly, I would stay clear of that employer and leave overall and take the leave. What if you do end up doing...

    Help NP clinical advice after hours
